Etymology: Centrophorus: centr[um] (L.), prickle or sharp point; phorus, from phoreus (Gr.), bearer or carrier, referring to grooved spines on dorsal fins (See ETYFish); lesliei: In honor of Robin Leslie, Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (South Africa), “who has contributed greatly to our knowledge of southern African chondrichthyans and provided numerous important specimens and tissue samples for various projects” (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr Robin Leslie works for the Fisheries Branch, Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in South Africa. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
This medium sized (<1 m maximum total length) species is distinguished by the following set of characters: body relatively slender; head moderately long, 21.4-26.4% TL; snout relatively short, its horizontal preorbital length 6.5-8.2% TL, rounded in dorsal view; first dorsal very long with base length 16.8-19.7% TL and soft fin length 16.0-17.4% TL, and high with height 6.5-7.8% TL, its inner margin relatively short, 5.7-7.4% TL, 2.3–2.9 in soft fin length; second dorsal fin much smaller in area to first, similar in height to first dorsal fin, its height 1.0-1.3 in first dorsal-fin height; pectoral fins are large, anterior margin length 11.9-13.4% TL, free rear tip elongate in larger individuals, 2.4-4.8% TL; lateral trunk denticles of larger individuals are sessile or not raised on pedicels, block-like, not elevated; upper teeth of larger individuals have erect to slightly oblique cusps; lower teeth of all sized specimens are much larger than upper teeth, strongly oblique, blade-like; total vertebral centra 119-122; teeth 33–42/29–31 (Ref. 116740).
Examined type specimens ranged in size from 31.7-95.0 cm TL, with the smallest free-swimming individual at 40.8 cm TL; a late-term embryo of 31.7 sm TL still with a small external yolk sac; an embryo of 39.5 cm TL from a pregnant female. A female of 86.3 cm TL was found to be mature and pregnant. Reported sizes of adult males 71.5-76.5 cm TL and adult females 89.0-99.0 cm TL (Ref. 116740).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mycket låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mer än 14 år (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (60 of 100).
